So, I went down to the Canyon County Courthouse today to get my Explorer registered and to get my new Drivers License. The whole experience was very....country. First you go through "security" and I use the term very loosely. You walk through a metal dectector and the lady doesn't even look at her little screen with your stuff on it and when you beep while walking through she says "Oh, it's probably just your necklace." and you walk through. It was pretty amusing. So, then I went to get my drivers license and I was waiting in line and the Sherriff (yes, the sheriff is who issues your license) says to the lady in front of me "Just leave me a blank check and sign it, so if you pass the test I'll just fill it in for you." Wow! Can you imagine anything like that happening in P-town! Well, I found it amusing.....and, the question on the test "If you hit a livestock animal on the road are you responsible for any damage done?". Just so you know the answer is yes. The cows, horses, elk, etc....they are allowed to run amuck, but if you hit one be prepared to pay for it! They do things a little differently here. Like when I went to the liquor store and the guy behind the counter goes, "Are you 21?" and I kind of laughed and said yes and the guy goes "ok". And that's how they do it Idaho. These things maybe are one of those "gotta be there" but right now they are very funny to me. Just to let you know we are doing great. We finally closed on the house. We own it..all of it...for 30 years! Kind of scary. The weather has been awesome. Hot! Mostly around 100. Today for example 102. Nezar is loving his new store. It's a very young crew and they are a little more relaxed than the Couve so he fits right in. My job is awesome....i'm loving it... and no Jessica, I'm not working too much. We went downtown boise, which they call BO DO (don't ask me why), went to PF Changs and hung out for awhile...it's not too bad! There is actually a lot going on down there. Well, there's not too much else to comment on right now! Update later!

What the frick are you doing in idaho?
I mean why are you in Idaho? and what's up with Tiana? I email her, and never hear back, she is on the verge of being dead to me.
You're HERE? I mean, it's not like we're best friends, but, and I'm assuming that you are who I think you are (I don't know if you want your name in print here, but I only know one Nezar), Gina and I feel SO alone here, but we can't leave because Steve, her husband, is in the Air Force. We thought we were moving to Maryland, but the AF changed its mind, but only after we had gotten used to the idea and were looking forward to it. I hate them.
Please say that you'll come visit us. We live off Five Mile near Amity (near Arwen's parents, actually). I have to say that I really enjoyed talking with Nezar the last time I saw him, at Renovatus. My email is theemailineveruse@nerdshack.com, let me know if I can do anything to help you guys out.
Ohh, you and ty/Gina and their husband should all be best friends. And if you get bored you could all hang out at Arwen's parents house. Yes...my plan is working.
I can't stop giggling that Jess referred to Steve as "their husband." I don't think I'll be telling Steve about that one, or he'll never want to meet Jess, let alone hang with her and Ryan and the Meatball.
As for Ty's invitation, I heartily second that idea. We Portcouver types have to stick together or we'll be overwhelmed by the hickish ways and start to think nothing of giving the Sheriff a blank check.
i think you should post pictures of your new house! we all want to see it!
